Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patient Diary-derived Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Pain Intensity Change From Baseline to Week 12 or Final Visit of the Double-blind Phase
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12
Participants rate their pain intensity on a numeric rating scale (NRS), where 0=no pain and 10=worst possible pain, in a daily diary. At Week 12 (or final visit), all measurements during the preceding week are averaged, and the mean change from the mean score at baseline is calculated.
Baseline, Week 12
